-------------------------Please note---------------------------------
This is an experimental build of CyanogenMod 10.2 running Android 4.3.
Meaning there's a couple of known issues with the camera. It is my hope these will be sorted out over time.
If anyone has any interest in helping out, please PM me. Or simply fork the code if you want.

Boot into recovery by holding the Volume Up button as the phone is booting.

Back up your current ROM inside CWM recovery.

Flash CyanogenMod ROM to your device using CWM recovery.

Flash Google Applications to your device using CWM recovery.

Do a wipe data/factory reset from within CWM recovery.

Reboot system

---------------------------Known issues-----------------------------

Several camera functions such as HDR don't work.

---------------------------Build from source------------------------

Please consult this guide for setting up CyanogenMod for compile.
Please use

Code:

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2

when you initialize the CyanogenMod repository so you get the source for CM-10.2.
Download roomservice.xml (see below) and put in ~/android/system/.repo/local_manifests/.
Run 'repo sync' and compile with 'brunch jactiveltexx'. You can get the proprietary files from the ROM.

Fixed wifi and a number of small issues. Should be a lot more stable. Seems the main remaining issue is, not surprisingly, the camera. If anyone knows how the entire camera driver setup is supposed to work in android, I'd love some help

Call it just a hunch. But have you tried the camera drivers from the s3 ? I would say that it's basically the same camera and has been added in s4 active because after 1 year it became very cheap to continue manufacturing and this way compensate for the more expensive case and water proofing.

Honestly, not exactly sure how the setup is. I assume it's mostly in some proprietary libs separate from the kernel, but it's hard to find good information on it.
